Striped Obsession

I love stripes. Year 'round; all day long. I'm all about stripes. When I'm not waxing and waning about the polka dot, the gingham and the plaid, I'm probably rocking a line or two or three. Although I don't usually go in for stripal overkill (& yes, I'm aware I just made that word up: stripal) since I bought my striped navy/white espadrilles from Target last week-end, I've been chomping at the bit to wear them. Also chomping is my love of my vintage Oshgosh b'gosh shorts over-alls embellished with trim from a vintage Hawaiian muu-muu (shown in the background.) I've been struggling to find the right top to wear underneath, and Friday when I picked up this cotton striped tank from Thrift Town for a buck-fifty, I figured it was time to paint the town RED WHITE & BLUE, in stripes.

You look excellently patriotic! Stripes are really the perfect pattern. They will never, ever go out of style. I feel the same way you do about them, that when gingham and polka dots aren't doing it for me, stripes always will. Ps-sweet espadrilles!!

yes stripes are the sheez hahhayou look so cute wearing this!and omg girl, serioulsy i wanted to set up the shop this week but since paypal has to check something about my info is taking forever ahrghr!!!its frustating! hopefully on friday or something.

All hail the stripes! It's good to know other people are crazy about them too. I think that, even though there are so many stripes, it's not overkill. They mostly seem consistent in size so it's not as terribly distracting. I really love your shoes.
